Six Weeks of Going Slow

April 29, 2020April 29, 2020 ~ Crissi Langwell ~ Leave a comment

I had big plans six weeks ago when we were ordered to shelter in place....

Let there be light, let sleeping dogs lie

June 2, 2019April 15, 2020 ~ Crissi Langwell ~ 5 Comments

I started writing about how much I enjoy the morning light, but then this turned into a story about my dog, and my grief over putting him down.

3 ways to combat writer’s block

March 30, 2019March 30, 2019 ~ Crissi Langwell ~ 2 Comments

Recently, a writer friend asked me how I combat writer’s block. Before I share what I told her, let me just tell you that writer’s block doesn’t discriminate. I don’t care if you’re JK frickin Rowling, every author is afflicted with this curse. Case in point, I gave this friend my answer for battling writer’s … Continue reading 3 ways to combat writer’s block

Numbered ~ a novel ~ coming soon!

September 18, 2018May 8, 2019 ~ Crissi Langwell ~ 1 Comment

If you follow me on social media (and you should: Facebook, Instagram, Twitter), you are already aware that my novel writing hiatus has ended and I'm working on my next book. I realized today that I haven't actually written that here, which is just awful! So here you go: I'M WRITING ANOTHER BOOK! I'm really … Continue reading Numbered ~ a novel ~ coming soon!

Dethroning the 6th grade queen of the playground

July 15, 2018August 1, 2018 ~ Crissi Langwell ~ 4 Comments

There are two stories that stand out for me in my childhood memories. In the first, I’m in 6th grade, standing off to the side while the new girl, surrounded by the most popular girls in my class, decided who was cool enough to hang out with her, and who wasn’t. We all played the … Continue reading Dethroning the 6th grade queen of the playground

Just a place

July 5, 2018May 7, 2019 ~ Crissi Langwell ~ 2 Comments

I'm on my lunch break right now, taking a class where the teacher is really into breaks. "Shall we take a break?" he asks every 30 minutes, which sounds awesome, except I'd rather get out early than take frequent breaks. Our dinner break is an actual 1 hour and 40 minutes (it's an 8-hour class), … Continue reading Just a place

The day I met Anne Lamott…and choked

April 7, 2018May 7, 2019 ~ Crissi Langwell ~ 1 Comment

Seven years ago, I waited in line to meet her, Annie Lamott, the author whose books I had devoured in a frantic kind of way, as if reading everything she’d written would somehow make me a better writer. I’d discovered her years before by accident when a friend told me that my confessional way of … Continue reading The day I met Anne Lamott…and choked

Stepping out of the shame storm to embrace confidence

March 9, 2018 ~ Crissi Langwell ~ 2 Comments

At the start of 2018, I dedicated this year to confidence. I aimed to build on my confidence and become more surefooted in my endeavors, my path, and make solid steps toward my future. A few days after making this vow, I agreed to be my mother-in-law’s caretaker for a week. That week turned into … Continue reading Stepping out of the shame storm to embrace confidence

What it looks like to slow down

February 27, 2018February 27, 2018 ~ Crissi Langwell ~ Leave a comment

One of my main goals with taking a temporary break from publishing is to slow down. But what does that mean? Right now, admittedly, my life already seems kind of slowed down, at least by my standards. I’m on the final two weeks of my Family Leave, and haven’t stepped foot in our bustling newsroom … Continue reading What it looks like to slow down

Truth telling: That pit of dread in my chest

December 20, 2017 ~ Crissi Langwell ~ 3 Comments

It depends on the day whether I’m fine or not. There are days when I’m so damn grateful for everything I have, everything I get to do, every single way I’ve been blessed in this overabundant life of mine. But then there are other days like today, when I feel like I’ll explode if someone … Continue reading Truth telling: That pit of dread in my chest

This month marks 8 years as a published author, and it all started with my first book, A Symphony of Cicadas, and its companion novel Forever Thirteen. All my stories are special to me for different reasons, but these two will always be close to my heart.
Last weekend, my husband and I enjoyed a getaway in Joshua Tree. The inspiration was for research for my next novel, but it didn't hurt that it was just the two of us, camping out under the stars. Here are a few photos from our trip, just so you can see how gorgeous it all was. (Expect more photos plus a blog entry sometime soon, because I have stories!) #joshuatree #joshuatreenationalpark
Oh, hello gorgeous day. Not pictured are the goose poop bombs I dodged on the way to taking this shot.
I guess journaling time is over. 🐱 👑
Happy Valentine’s Day! I don’t write a lot of poetry, but this one I’ve always loved. You can find it in my little known book, Everything I Am Not Saying.
Early morning hike. Worth it. 🌞
